AUF DIE DAUER HILFT NUR POWER!
research & exhibition project

The exhibition AUF DIE DAUER HILFT NUR POWER! ( IN THE LONG RUN, ONLY POWER HELPS!) on view at the Querungen platform of the Württembergischer Kunstverein was conveived in dialogue with the exhibition DEFIANT MUSES. DELPHINE SEYRIG AND THE FEMINIST VIDEO COLLECTIVES OF 1970S AND 1980S FRANCE.
It goes on a foray through the history/ies of the feminist resistance that also formed in this region with the beginning of the New Women’s and Lesbian Movements in the 1970s. Based on various materials and media, a cross-section of feminist activism in the federal state Baden-Württemberg (Germany) is made visible and put up for discussion in accompanying events.

developed specifically for the exhibition 50 YEARS AFTER 50 YEARS OF THE BAUHAUS 1968

From the introduction text of 50 YEARS AFTER 50 YEARS OF THE BAUHAUS 1968: "Fifty years after the opening of 50 Years of the Bauhaus, the Württembergischer Kunstverein is undertaking a critical rereading of this exhibition. The rereading takes as its point of departure the sociopolitical upheavals of the 1960s and considers the Bauhaus, its historical contexts and the history(ies) of its reception from today's perspective."

RAUMSTRUKTUR
together with Ute Meta Bauer

Raumstruktur (engl. Spatial Structure) was created for the exhibition WHEN TEKKNO TURNS TO SOUND OF POETRY (Shedhalle Zurich, 1994; Kunstwerke Berlin, 1995). Formally, it goes back to Ray and Charles Eames’s infinitely variable Computer House of Cards, that they had developed as a promotional gift for IBM’s exhibit at the World Expo in Osaka in 1970 and earlier as a children's play.
We use the Eames slotted card system to rearrange different picture and text materials from the 1970s and, by so doing, to spotlight the polarity and the relationships between the belief in progress and the various counter-movements of this decade. The three-dimensional arrangement and the optical connection between fields not usually perceived together enable a reflective view of the 1970s.

THE ART OF NOT GOVERNED LIKE THAT
Idea und conception by Hans D. Christ, Yvonne P. Doderer, Iris Dressler, Stephan Köperl, Sylvia Winkler

The exhibition THE ART OF NOT GOVERNED LIKE THAT, refering in its title to Michel Foucualt, is an independent project while simultaneously comprising part of the exhibition RE-DESIGNING THE EAST. POLITICAL DESIGN IN ASIA AND EUROPE by Württembergischer Kunstverein Stuttgart. The section ties in with the controversy surrounding the urban development and transport project Stuttgart 21 and heightens reflection thereupon against the background of economic, political, social, and cultural processes of transformation that have been developing in recent decades.
